As mentioned last August, I said I would get a "back-up" retro courier bag, and I did. I know it will take my first bag a long time to wear out, but I simply want the peace of mind of having a replacement for when the time comes...that's how good this bag is.

As a side note, since August I have suffered an injury that has me walking with the aid of a cane and, believe me, every day I walk down the block to my office from parking, I am reminded how useful and comfortable this bag rides on my back with a computer and books inside. However, the best feature is that my travels are hands free for that morning cup of coffee or extra files.

I still wish the bag came with an updated cell phone holder and iPod carrier.

Comments about Retro Courier Shoulder Bag- Olive Drab No Patch:

Several months ago I replaced a much more expensive shoulder bag with this one and find the switch a very smart move. This bag is used every day for books, documents & files for work and magazines and music (MP3, CD's, etc.) for personal use. When worn properly, this bag is VERY comfortable and "rides" securely, even on my bike. I plan to purchase another one just to have a back-up bag. An excellent value - especially at the sale price!
